Measles parties is the stupidest thing I heard. It is not chickenpox (although even chickenpox instead of vaccine causes risk of having shingles once you get older), it can cause serious health issues and even death.

I'm just gonna say, I got lucky with where my shingles hit and it suuucked. It was just my side. I have a friend who got out across their face. I got very lucky.

Neck for me. They got the paperwork ready to see an eye specialist if there's any sign that it might reach my eyes. Luckily didn't.
